Preventive labor induction-AMOR-IPAT: much promise, not yet realized
1University of British Columbia, and Centre Community and Child Health Research, Child and Family Research Institute, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Abstract:
"Preventive Labor Induction-AMOR-IPAT" is a method designed to time induction before the fetus becomes too large or the placenta dysfunctional. In two retrospective cohort studies and one randomized trial, the developers claim to have reduced cesarean section rates and improved newborn outcomes. These claims have yet to be substantiated in an adequately powered trial, but having decided on the need for an induction, the investigators do manage inductions in a woman-centered and intimate style that has merit.
